Its ahead based on initial release date but PS2 was only available in Japan for about 8 months. PS2 is pretty far ahead when looking at it from a region to region standpoint.

PS2 released March 2000 in Japan & Oct/Nov 2000 in America/PAL regions. Here is the breakdown per region in the same time frame.

Japan as of March 2003-12.70

America as of March 2004-29.53

PAL as of March 2004-24.79

Total-67.02

 

Regardless, excellent sales for PS4!!!!

Pretty much made it on par with the Wii then? Dominance in the casual market may never be quite achieved like the Wii and PS2 did.

Yeah it seems unlikely. Wii casuals have moved on to mobile, and the PS2's affordable DVD player just seems unlikely to be replicated anytime soon as people have mostly taken to streaming these days.

Granted, I plan to get the Scorpio in large part for its 4k player but, much like when I bought the PS3 in large part due to its extremely generous price given it could play Bluray movies, I imagine I'll be in the minority on this one lol
